Unclassified RIPE
Summary
becom Systemhaus
isp hosting enterprise legacy
AS9197 (BECOMGMBH-AS) is held by becom Systemhaus, an IT systems house and business connectivity provider based in Wetzlar, Hesse — the registry description still carries the old D-35578 Wetzlar postal line. becom builds and manages network and security infrastructure for companies, and sells business internet, SD-WAN and managed firewall/monitoring services on top of it.
What it's used for
RIS sees 5 IPv4 prefixes covering 4,608 addresses, 4 IPv6 prefixes, and 2 observed BGP neighbours. The IPv4 side is one coherent block, 195.226.64.0/20, with a few more-specifics (195.226.80.0/23, 195.226.65.0/24, 195.226.81.0/24, 195.226.76.0/24) punched out of the surrounding range. Two neighbours means becom is a dual-homed customer of larger carriers, buying resilient transit and reselling connectivity — a regional business ISP, not a wholesale carrier.
The reverse DNS is the most informative part of the pack, and it shows the space is carrying customers, not just becom itself. 195.226.81.5 and 195.226.81.133 resolve to smtpex02.ekom21.de and ns4.ekom21.de — ekom21 is a Hessian municipal IT service provider. 195.226.76.5 is mail.diventus.de, another third-party company. Only 195.226.65.133 (mrpostman.becomsys.de) is becom's own. That mix — customer mail servers and nameservers sitting on individually-announced /24s inside the provider's /20 — is precisely how a small business ISP numbers managed-hosting and dedicated-connectivity clients.
Notable
- The IPv6 footprint is disproportionately large for the IPv4 size: a
2a02:998::/32plus sub-prefixes and two blocks from2a02:1010::/xx. - The customer domains in rDNS include public-sector IT (a municipal service provider), so the AS carries more than SME web hosting.

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-18, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 443 networks and 1,784 prefixes, as published 2026-10-19. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
